Keep Your Head Up aka Motion Creates Emotion

Add I’ve mentioned before, I’m currently unemployed. Got laid off in August and I’ve been interviewing but nothing has been closed on yet.

Recently I’d gotten closer than I have been in this job search phase: had two phone interviews, then called in to meet with five people, one at a time with a lunch in between. Quite the interviewathon.

I got the call yesterday that they decided to proceed with another candidate. Disappointing, it was with a well known online company with a great future and lots of space to move around. But I already have another interview lined up.

I told my friend “Kevin”, he said “keep your head up” which is a common saying.” Head down” signifies depressed and blah. “Heads up” signifies good mood and confidence.

Loved this post. A friend of mine always says to get out and at least walk around the block, or head to Starbucks with my computer and write when I feel down. Physical action seems like the last thing that would be helpful during times like these, but it’s amazing how much movement (and a change of scenery) can help, even if you have to force it at first. Good luck in the job search!
